2 IMPACT & IMPLEMENTATION REPORT DETAILED REPORT SECTION CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF PROPOSAL 1. DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE(S) AND REASONS FOR CHANGE(S) In early 2017 the AEMC published a rule determination to harmonise the start time of the gas day used in the short-term trading market hubs and the gas supply hub trading locations with the gas day start time used in the Victorian declared wholesale gas market. Under the rule, the gas day in each market at each location will commence at 6.00 am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). This change will also result in standardising the next gas day nomination cut-over time which will be 3pm AEST. In late 2017 the COAG Energy Council considered a range of reform recommendations put forward by Gas Market Reform Group s (GMRG) which include harmonising the start time of the gas day. Click here to view the GMRG final recommendation paper. At the November 2017 COAG Energy Council meeting, Ministers agreed with the full package of reforms put forward by GMRG which included a recommendation that harmonising the start time of the gas day changes take effect by 1 October The relevant National Gas Law (NGL) and National Gas Rule (NGR) changes were made by the SA Minister for Energy on 22 November Click here to view these amendments. In September of 2018, AEMO kicked-off a program of work to review the impact of harmonising the start time of the gas day initiative. In late November, AEMO issued a Proposed Procedure Change (PPC) that detailed the changes to the RMP and invited anyone to make a submission. Section 9 details the outcome of the PPC consultation. In summary most Participants supported these changes. A summary of the recommend RMP changes are described in section 3 of this IIR. There will also be changes to AEMO Retail Market IT systems. These changes are minimal as they only involve configuration changes. The broad changes described in section 4 of this IIR will require transition plans to be develop. There will be a separate consultation for the procedure changes that will provide the necessary regulatory relief to facilitate the transition plans. This consultation is targeted to commence in Q Anyone wishing to make a submission for this second stage consultation are to use the response template provided in Attachment D. Submissions close 11 February 2019 and should be ed to gdh@aemo.com.au. 2. REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION Retail Market Procedures (Queensland) (ver 16) Retail Market Procedures (NSW and ACT) (ver 19) Participant Build Pack 5 NSW/ACT Specific Build Pack (ver 4) Retail Market Procedures (South Australia) (ver 13) 3. THE HIGH LEVEL DETAILS OF THE CHANGE(S) TO THE EXISTING PROCEDURES There are no changes to the STTM Procedures. Impacts to AEMO wholesale gas IT systems are minimal. They involve configuration changes only. The following is a summary of the Retail Market changes. AEMO

3 Retail Market Procedures (Queensland) Amend the gas day definition in clause so that is refers to Part 26 of the NGR. Participant Build Pack 4 - Queensland Specific Build Pack No changes were identified. Retail Market Procedures (NSW and ACT) Amend the gas day definition in clause so that is refers to Part 26 of the NGR. Amend the collection time described in clause (Meter reading frequency) so that the Network Operator is to collect the metering data for each of the daily metered delivery points at 6.00 am; Amend the 9:30am time provision in clause ( c) (Provision of Energy Data to AEMO) to 9:00am. Amend the 6:30am time provisions in clause 7.2 (RoLR event) so that they are changed to 6:00am; Amend clause (STTM Distribution System Allocation Daily Calculation) so that it refers to rule 422 of the Rules; and Amend the footnote reference in clause A2.3 (EDD Calculation) so that the lag time hours take into account the 30min time difference. Participant Build Pack 5 NSW/ACT Specific Build Pack (ver 4) Amend section so that the 11:00am ERFTSTTMPipelineAllocationDataRpt report generated by AEMO will be changed so it will be generated at 10:30am. This report is available only to AEMO. Amend section and so that the 9:30 am ERFTParticipantCLPandUAGNotification and ERFTMatchedAllocationsDataNotification reports generated by AEMO will be changed so that they will be generated at 9:00am. Retail Market Procedures (South Australia) Amend the gas day definition in clause so that is refers to Part 26 of the NGR. Delete clause 6A (2) (d) SAWA Interface Control Document No changes were identified. There will also be changes to AEMO Retail Market IT systems. These changes are minimal as they only involve configuration changes 4. EXPLANATION REGARDING THE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE OF THE CHANGE AEMO s assessment in terms of the order of magnitude overall broad changes for gas day harmonisation is that this change will be material. This is because the boarder change involves Distributors and Pipeline Operators making modifications to onsite meter reading equipment. Remote and manual adjustments will be required depending on the type of metering on sites. Detailed transition plans will also need to be developed by participants. The materiality of the changes to Retail Market IT system and process for AEMO and presumably, Retailers, Distributors and Pipeline Operators are less complex compared to the broader changes. AEMO is of the view these changes should be uncomplicated configurational IT changes therefore the order of magnitude in this instance is non-material. AEMO

4 ASSESSMENT OF LIKELY EFFECT OF PROPOSAL 5. OVERALL INDUSTRY COST / BENEFIT (TANGIBLE / INTANGIBLE / RISK) ANALYSIS AND/OR COST ESTIMATES Given that the proposed change is a legislative requirement a cost estimate is not warranted in this instance. In terms of benefits, having a consistent gas day start time across all jurisdiction that operate under the NGR will enable new participants to partake in these markets more easily. The changes proposed will ensure that the three jurisdictional RMPs are aligned with the new legislative framework and, where possible, with each other. This provides consistency and harmonisation with both the new legislative framework and other jurisdictional gas markets. 6. THE LIKELY IMPLEMENTATION EFFECT OF THE CHANGE(S) ON STAKEHOLDERS As noted under section 4 of this IIR, AEMO, Retailers, Distributors and Pipeline Operators will be impacted by these changes. When implemented, the benefits outlined in section 5 of the IIR should be realised. 7. TESTING REQUIREMENTS AEMO, and presumably Retailers, Distributors and Pipeline Operators with need to modify their IT systems to comply with the harmonised gas day. AEMO s view is these IT system changes do not warrant a coordinated industry testing program or a bilateral testing program given the changes are only to configuration. AEMO and Participants that make Retail Market IT system changes need to assess whether they need to recertify their systems.

AEMO'S PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSAL'S COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 135EB: Consistency with NGL and NGR, AEMO s view is that the proposed change is consistent with the NGL and NGR. The proposed change promotes consistency across four jurisdictions. Regard to national gas objective. "Promote efficient investment in, and efficient operation and use of, natural gas services for the long-term interests of consumers of natural gas with respect to price, quality, safety, reliability and security of supply of natural gas." It is AEMO's view that this change removes any costs associated with unnecessary differences in processes and procedures, and is in the long-term interests of consumers as it promotes clarity and consistency. Regard to any applicable access arrangements AEMO s view is that the proposed change is not in conflict with existing Access Arrangements. AEMO

5 9. CONSULTATION FORUM OUTCOMES On 21 November 2018 AEMO published on its website a PPC that proposed changes to the RMPs in light of the NGR change to harmonise the gas day. Registered participants and interested stakeholders were invited to make submissions which closed on 18 December Submissions were received from Origin Energy, AGL, Red/Lumo and Jemena Gas Networks (JGN) and all these responses supported the implementation of this change. APA (for AGN and Allgas) also submitted a response which flagged a concern pertaining to the change of timeframe for the Network Operator to deliver daily interval meter data to AEMO. APA s feedback proposed adding at least one hour to the overall end-to-end process. AEMO considers that a change of this nature will have further downstream changes that impact the existing timing obligation pertaining to broader STTM arrangements that operate today and formed the cornerstone of the implementation of the STTM market in AEMO therefore considers that APA s proposal is beyond the scope of this project. AEMO nor any other Participants have raised this concern. A change of this nature would also require a change to clause 422 of the National Gas Rule (NGR). Red/Lumo, JGN and AEMO also proposed additional changes and a summary on of these changes and AEMO s response to each proposal is contained in Attachment E. RECOMMENDATION(S) 10. SHOULD THE PROPOSED PROCEDURES BE MADE, (WITH OR WITHOUT AMENDMENTS)? AEMO recommends that the changes be made as proposed in Attachment A to C. 11. IF APPLICABLE, A PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE(S) TO TAKE EFFECT AND JUSTIFICATION FOR THAT TIMELINE. Subject to all necessary approval s AEMO is targeting to implement this initiative 6:00am AEST on 1 October To achieve this timeline, AEMO proposes the following key milestones: Issue IIR on 11 January Submission on IIR close 11 February AEMO decision on 1 March Effective date 1 October 2019 (6:00am AEST).

10 ATTACHMENT E SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED FOR CHANGE IN Consolidated feedback for IN002/16 (Gas Day harmonisation) Section 1 - General Comments on the Proposed Procedure Change Sections 1 to 10 of the PPC sets out details of the proposal. Does your organisation supports AEMO s assessment of the proposal? If no, please specify areas in which your organisation disputes AEMO s assessment (include PPC section reference number) of the proposal and include information that supports your organisation rational why you do not support AEMO s assessment. Ref# Participant Response received AEMO response 1 Red/Lumo Red and Lumo Energy (Red and Lumo) support AEMO s assessment of the proposal outlined in the Proposed Procedure Change (PPC) consultation documents. Red and Lumo, however, have provided some additional comments and feedback to the proposed changes and where applicable have provided suggested amendments. 2 AGL AGL supports AEMOs assessment of the procedure changes necessary for the gas day harmonisation. AEMO acknowledges Red/Lumo support of the proposed changes. AEMO acknowledges AGL s support of the proposed changes. 3 Origin Energy 4 APA for AGN and Allgas Origin Energy have reviewed the changes proposed as part of this consultation and support the changes The impact of these changes on the timeframes for the Network Operator to deliver daily interval meter data to AEMO is of particular concern for APA as it operates distribution networks in each of these jurisdictions (SA, Qld and NSW) and processes and reports this data using a single national systems platform. AEMO acknowledges Origin Energy s support of the proposed changes. AEMO notes APA s concern about the timeframes for the Network Operator to deliver daily interval meter data, but AEMO does not support APA s proposal to alter the deliver interval meter data change from 3.5 to 4.5 hours. A change of this nature will have further downstream impacts that effect the existing timing obligation pertaining to broader STTM AEMO

11 Whilst the RMP changes are essentially limited to linking the definition of gas day to the definition in Part 26 of the National Gas Rules (6:00am EST), because the interval meter data delivery timeframes in the RMPs are all stated in terms of hours after the end of the gas day (+ 3.5 hours), and these timeframes are not proposed to change, this will have the effect of bringing forward the delivery deadline by 30 minutes in SA and NSW, and by 2 hours in Qld following harmonisation. This will significantly impact upon the processing capacity of our interval meter data capture and reporting systems. Currently we are able to stage the daily processing for each jurisdiction throughout the morning, but following harmonisation the deadlines for reporting to AEMO in each jurisdiction will all be simultaneous. This could lead to an increase in the number of estimates and resends of reports. arrangements that operate today and formed the cornerstone of the implementation of the STTM market in These changes are therefore considered beyond the scope of this project. AEMO nor any other Participants have raised this as a concern. A change of this nature will also require a change to clause 422 of the National Gas Rule (NGR). Therefore APA suggests that the RMP delivery timeframes for Network Operators to deliver interval meter data to AEMO be increased to 4.5 hours. The RMP clauses effected are listed below. This will enable more opportunity to spread the data processing load and minimise the risk of system congestion causing reporting failures and the missing of deadlines. We note also that the STTM Procedures currently already link all of the required AEMO processing timeframes for the wholesale STTMs to time elapsed (+4.5 hours) from the end of the gas day as defined in the NGR. This includes the calculation by AEMO of distribution system allocations AEMO

12 which depends on the timely delivery by the Network Operator of interval meter data within 3.5 hours. Following harmonisation, this will mean that each of the STTMs run at the same time across all hubs. 5 Jemena Gas Networks Therefore we suggest that the AEMO processing timeframes within the STTM Procedures are also increased by 1 hour to 5.5 hours. This will still be consistent with the overall intent of the original reform package, where all daily trading would occur simultaneously. Yes, Jemena recognises that the standard gas day will become 6:00am Australian Eastern Standard Time. Jemena supports AEMO s proposal of no changes to meter data delivery timeframes as this will enable Jemena to meet the new standard gas day requirements with minimal changes to Jemena s processes and IT infrastructure. This will enable Jemena to maintain BAU interval meter and market data delivery for each gas day. Jemena also supports the change in generation time of the RFTSTTMPipelineAllocationDataRpt report from 11:00 to 10:30. AEMO acknowledges JGN support of the proposed changes. AEMO also notes JGNs comment about including details in JGN s implementation plan about the manual updating of the interval meters. Jemena would like to note that there will be a transition plan developed to transfer a number of older meters, which will be requiring a manual update over a period of time. Jemena is to work through the implications of the manual processes required and will include it as part of its implementation plan. AEMO

Red and Lumo have provided the correct reference of the Rules to be used in the definition of gas day. 12 AGL Definitions AGL notes the change of definition for the start of the Gas Day 13 AEMO (c ) Currently there is 3 hours between the start of the gas and when the data mentioned in clause (9:30am) needs to be received by AEMO. This 3 hour existing timeline needs to continue when the new gas day start time of 6:00am comes into a period of 24 consecutive hours starting at the same time as a standard gas day as defined in Part 2620 of the Rules Provision of Energy Data to AEMO... A Network Operator must provide the following data to AEMO for each delivery point in its network within the timeframes specified in this clause: MIRN; MIRN checksum; aggregated consumed energy data; whether the delivery point meter is a basic meter or an interval meter; AEMO does not support. See AEMO response for item #6. See AEMO response for item #7. AEMO supports this change. AEMO

In respect of daily metered delivery points, the Network Operator must: if the delivery point is on an STTM network section, use reasonable endeavours to provide the data specified in paragraph (b) by 9:30 9:00 am on the day of the meter read; or otherwise, provide that data by noon on the day of the meter read. 14 Red/Lumo Red and Lumo object to the removal the referenced time from this clause. It is unclear why this has been removed. While we agree with AEMO s proposed inclusion of reference to the Rules, AEMO s obligation to calculate a gas day allocation by 11:00 am on the AEMO must calculate the STTM distribution system allocation for the gas day, in accordance with rule 422 of the Rules by am on the following gas day. AEMO does not support. Rule 422 covers the STTM distribution system allocations and states that the AEMO must determine the allocation no later than 4.5 hours after the start of each gas day. Linking the procedure clause to the NGR ensures that the documentation is aligned. AEMO

It seems there is highlighted text throughout the document that opens with quotations, Red and Lumo propose to AEMO that this is removed and simply highlighted without the quotations. There is inconsistency throughout the PBPs where quotations are and are not The distributor will only provide validated meter reads of any meter read type. For NSW/ACT the Distributor may deliver meter reads for Non Daily read meters to Self Contracting users using the same format of the equivalent transaction to retailers. In this case the references to retailer should be taken as user. AEMO agrees that this is unrelated to this consultation.
